    Nice experience. Bar service was slow , but food was great! They need better heaters if it was any colder outside. Outside temp was 20’s any still pretty cool in igloo. Should have two staff assigned to igloo server had to set drink and food down in order to unzip igloo. Also zipper already broken and season just started

    The staff are always top-notch and friendly. We prefer the Top when it’s not crowded so we always go early. The food was fantastic (get the calamari) as were the drinks. I can’t wait to come back.

    Third visit for Brunch Boards. While I know the original boards were very large and cumbersome for staff, I missed the originality of a board! The food was generous and tasty as always; however, my only complaint is the removal from the menu of one of the best brunch items - brioche brûlée. While the wait person assured us the replacement was better - it was not! Speaking of waitstaff, our server was delightful and attentive with great customer service skills - sorry I didn't get her name, although she was probably the older of the employees.

    Views are very nice but service was just ok. It took a while for servers to clear our table even after rounds of drinks were brought out. Food was just ok, sadly I was hoping for better.

    Food was horrible. Never have high hopes when I eat at a hotel, but this gel way short. The Brussels sprouts were swimming in sauce, barely cooked and weirdly had cooked apple slices in them. The salad had the same oddly cooked apple pie slices vs fresh apple slices, as one would think would be in a saad. The salad was swimming in dressing. the flatbread had tomato sauce overload. there was one artichoke, cut in half on tbe pizza. it was the entire artichoke, core and all, which also was barely cooked. the service sucked. which was odd because it seemed like 6 servers were working but odd because hardly anyone was there.

    We ordered the traditional breakfast board and it was great! More than enough for 2 people. Our waiter was wonderful however I do not remember his name. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly!
